Description
"Only one generation in history (ours) will experience life both with and without the Internet. For everyone who follows us, online life will simply be the air they breathe. Today, we revel in ubiquitous information and constant connection, rarely stopping to consider the implications for our logged-on lives. Michael Harris chronicles this massive shift, exploring what we've gained, and lost, in the bargain. In [his] book, Harris argues that our greatest loss has been that of absence itself -- of silence, wonder, and solitude"--,Provided by publisher.
